NOTES
David Works, 56, lives in Rockville, Maryland.
He holds
a BA from Sonoma State University in California
where he majored in art. Besides his computer
art, he paints traditionally (witness the last three
images in this exhibit). He tell us he is influenced
by cave paintings, aboriginal art, primitive art and abstract expressionism. "I see what I do as a process of
discovery...my work involves a lot of experimentation,
randomness and chance. I am happy if a few pieces
out of ten seem to work. The computer is a great
'medium' for this kind of'exploration'. I use Photoshop,
Painter and Bryce as my primary tools, but am not an
expert in any of them. I know just enough to keep
trying various techniques, tools and filters." He
says he is a "closet artist", with no exhibitions,
a number of "give-aways" and just a few sales.
